SLEEVE AND GLOVE PROTECTOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 338.790, dated March30, 1886.

Application filed December 23, 1885. Serial No. 186,520. (No model.)

To all whom it Vmay concern.'

Beit known that I, MARTHA W. SLAoK, a citizen of the United States,residing at Sandwich, in the county of De Kalb and State of Illinois,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sleeve and GloveProtectors; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear,and exact description of the saine, reference being had to the annexeddrawing, making a part of this specification, and to the letters andfigures of reference marked thereon.

The present invention has for its object to provide a sleeve-protectorwith an extension to cover both the hand and thumb thereof, so that whenwearing gloves the extension to the protector can be slipped over thesame and shield them from the weather; and it consists in the details ofconstruction, substantially as shown in the drawing, and hereinafterdescribed and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing, which represents an inner side View ofmyinvention, A designates the sleeve-protector,of water-proof u or othersuitable material, provided around its upper end with an elastic band,a; or other preferred means may be used for securing the protector to oraround the arm to hold it in place thereon.

The protector may be of any desirable length and breadth, and terminatesin a hand-extension, B, having secured thereto a thumb-piece, C, andimmediately above it, where itV joins the hand-extension, is an elasticband, b, so as to draw the extension part of the protector around thewrist after the hand is shoved through.

The hand portion or extension B of the protector A is open at itsend,and around its edge is elastic c, to draw the extension over andaround the fingers of the hand and close the opening in the extension,and at the same time make it convenient to thrust the hand through whenfound necessary to use it.

Especially is the device useful when going out in stormy weather in fulldress, as the gloved hands are as well protected as the sleeves of thedress, thereby preventing them from becoming soiled or injured.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is

A sleeve-protector provided with a handeXtension having an opening, andan elastic around the opening to draw it closed, and a thumb-piecesecured to the extension, and an elastic to draw said extension aroundthe wrist, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my namein the presence of two witnesses.

MARTHA NV. SLACK.
